[#labeling] doesn't have a help file. This external is inside 
gridflow/base/flow_objects.c , so you just have to load gridflow as a 
whole ( -lib gridflow ) and you have it.

there's an example patch at
   http://gridflow.ca/gallery/multiblob.png

[#labeling] has four outlets:
   outlet 3 gives the amount of pixels in the blob
   outlet 2 gives a mean vector (where the centre of the blob is)
   outlet 1 gives a covariance matrix (how much a blob spreads)
those outlets are sent to repeatedly for each blob, and then once of:
   outlet 0 gives an "indexed color" version of the original binary picture
   by replacing every "1" by the blob number (numbered from 2 upwards).

[#labeling 1] is a variant that has two outlets:
   outlet 1 gives two-sided "polygons" made of all horizontal segments in a
   picture.
   outlet 0 is the same as before, except all blobs are horizontal
   lines because all scanlines are considered separate.
